The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1514 - 1513: A Chance at Love

Geng Bucuo's hand had already formed into a fist. His eyes were fixed on Xiao Yue, not daring to miss any of her subtle expressions. Fortunately, all of this ended with Xiao Yue's sigh."Matters of a lifetime cannot be decided easily. I will think about it carefully. Thank you, Master."

Her eyes seemed to be shrouded in a layer of gloom, which spread to her face, then to her heart.

She didn't want Tang Rao to see her in such a miserable state; in Tang Rao's eyes, she's not the kind of woman who is indecisive and full of sorrow.

She should be the kind of person who, once she stands out, is full of vigor and someone others fear.

If not, she wouldn't have been able to become the Vice Sect Leader by Tang Rao's side; half of her achievements come from Tang Rao's appreciation, and half from her own efforts and contributions.

Having reached her current position, Xiao Yue believes she has a clear conscience. Her only mistake was having feelings for Tang Rao; if she hadn't been unrequited and fallen for Tang Rao, their relationship wouldn't have changed from the harmonious bond they once shared.

Sadly, if she knew the outcome of everything, she wouldn't have taken that wrong step from the beginning.

"I suppose this lad still has many things he wants to say to you, so I won't disturb your personal conversation anymore."

Tang Rao handed Geng Bucuo the seventh-grade Elixir Pills.

It felt unreal for Geng Bucuo to touch the seventh-grade Elixir Pills for the first time.

Following Tang Rao in the Divine Realm, he had seen quite a lot and knew what the Divine Realm is like. Moreover, he understood the difficulty in obtaining a seventh-grade Elixir Pill even for close relatives. The fact that Tang Rao could easily offer such a pill to a servant without blood ties indirectly showed that Tang Rao truly cared deeply for these things.

Ah, Xiao Yue, you are now just immersed in your own emotions. Once you come out of that mistaken emotion, you'll realize how big a mistake your actions today were.

The boss is a man worth following.

As Tang Rao left, Xiao Yue moved her lips, but the words she wanted to say ultimately remained unspoken.

Geng Bucuo gave her the Elixir Pills, and she accepted them quietly. When taking the pills, there was not a trace of greed in Xiao Yue's eyes; it was no different from eating wild fruits.

"Xiao Yue, don't take what the boss just said to heart. It's important not to put too much pressure on yourself. Heal well; the world outside is wonderful. Once you recover, I'll take you out to see it."

Geng Bucuo held Xiao Yue's hand, painting a beautiful picture for her, as if her injuries would soon heal and he could soon take her out to the splendid world outside.

"The outside world is so beautiful, but those worlds don't belong to us. Though we desperately try not to admit it, our fates have always belonged to the Master, it's not for us to decide?"

Saying those things was almost laughable.

They still dream of traversing mountains and rivers, which is simply dreaming.

Xiao Yue's words felt like a cold splash of water, intended to awaken Geng Bucuo so that he wouldn't foolishly try to take her inside.

"Really, Xiao Yue, just believe me this time, can you trust me this time?"

Geng Bucuo claimed to have that kind of strength, but Xiao Yue didn't believe him. As they spoke, Geng Bucuo got anxious, and Xiao Yue dived into her blanket, pretending to be deaf, unable to hear anything.

"Xiao Yue, even though my strength isn't as great as yours, I need to speak my heart. I just want to promise you a future. If one day you are threatened or in danger, even if that place is a mountain of knives and seas of fire, is Hell, I will rush in headlong, risking my life to protect you. I hope you don't need to be a strong woman; if someday your heart can't take it, I want you to remember that there is still me by your side."

Geng Bucuo cherished a moment of vulnerably expressing himself in the absence of others: "I want you to remember that my shoulders, Geng Bucuo's shoulders, are always ready for you. Whenever you need them, these shoulders are here for you."

Xiao Yue continued to hide under the blanket; no matter how much Geng Bucuo spoke, he was merely venting his inner emotions. After uttering those embarrassing words, he wanted to cover his face and run out.

"Geng Bucuo, where did you learn all those cheesy lines from? They're ridiculously fake!"

Unbeknownst to him, Xiao Yue had already poked her head out from under the covers.

Her eyes rolled as she watched Geng Bucuo. From the moment he closed his eyes, saying he'd offer his shoulders to her, until he reopened his eyes, she hadn't looked away.

No man had ever said such words to Xiao Yue before; the large hand holding Xiao Yue's hand was sweaty from nerves, completely wetting the back of her hands.

What?

Geng Bucuo opened his eyes and realized Xiao Yue was watching him; had she seen his nervous and twisted expression?

"Xiao Yue, what you saw just now isn't the real me; the real me isn't that ugly, and what I said just now was heartfelt. No one at Kao Shan Sect taught me these things?"

Geng Bucuo stuttered through his words, using quite a bit of courage, and Xiao Yue teased him?

"Honestly, what you said was rather touching."

Xiao Yue unexpectedly smiled and relaxed, discovering Geng Bucuo's loving side, which was rare.

"Who wants to hear you say those things? Facing you, I've already lost face; I don't mind losing a bit more as long as you smile. Whatever I do is worth it."

Even if Xiao Yue didn't agree, how would that matter? Geng Bucuo dedicated his efforts to pursuing Xiao Yue, believing that as long as she was happy, his efforts were worthwhile.

"Geng Bucuo, you've done so much for me. If I never agree to you, wouldn't it be a loss for you?"

Xiao Yue only asked out of curiosity, and Geng Bucuo replied anxiously as if energized, "Impossible, how could I regret it? Everything I do is voluntary; even if you don't agree, it's worth it."

Fearing misunderstanding, he even swore an oath to the Heavenly Dao. Xiao Yue hurriedly pulled down his hand raised atop his head, grasping it instead: "Geng Bucuo, maybe I should agree and give you a chance."

Those were Xiao Yue's words, genuinely spoken out loud. Geng Bucuo was shocked; his hand, eyes, and every part of him tensed with disbelief. He even wondered if he was hallucinating; why would Xiao Yue...

How could she so easily agree to give Geng Bucuo a chance?
